Ovarian Malignant Mixed Germ Cell Tumor With Prominent Embryoid Bodies (Polyembryoma Background): A Case Report and Literature Review

Yu Sun et al. Int J Gynecol Pathol. .

Abstract

Ovarian malignant mixed germ cell tumors are rare tumors occurring in young women. The presence of prominent embryoid bodies in these tumors is extremely uncommon. Herein, we report such a case, with a histomorphologic description and immunohistochemical and fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses.
